Well, Sony is working to get Archival Blu-Ray discs out in summer 2015. They are aiming to start with 300GB, then 500GB and finishing with 1TB http://www.vg247.com/2014/03/10/sony-unveils-next-generation-of-archival-300gb-1tb-blu-ray-discs/
''Over on Sony’s official site, the manufacturer confirmed that the first wave of Archival Disc Blu-rays will drop around summer 2015, and will offer 300GB of storage. Sony hopes to increase this limit to 500GB and then again to 1TB in future iterations of the medium. Blu-rays currently offer 50GB of storage.

But, will the current blu-ray players read that kind of discs? Perhaps we will see it on Playstation 5 and Xbox Two.

That will be interesting to see. They are described as Archival Blu-Ray discs, so why not?

You guys are forgetting something. Archival Disc is a medium (compatible with current blu-ray lenses) created for long term back-up. It is a very durable disc with lower reading speeds but with a lot of storage available. These will be available next to Blu-Ray discs which are for different media (games, movies). Blu-Ray disc technology will evolve at the end of this year to storage capacibiliies of more than 100GB (already possible actually but not for mainstream use). So PS4 will be able to output 4k video by using the new BD discs and I bet that developers will be able to print out their games on these 100GB discs too obviously.

To be on-topic I don't expect any game to use more than 100GB of data (most of that uncompressed as well) on the new BD
